SUMMARY:Visiting Artist Workshop with Yeonsoo Kim
DESCRIPTION:Visiting Artist Workshop with Yeonsoo Kim \n“Breathing Volume: Traditional Onggi and Buncheong Expression”\nSaturday\, August 15 (demonstration only) & Sunday\, August 16 (hands-on workshop) | 10 AM – 4 PM\nCost: Saturday only: $75 | Saturday & Sunday: $165 \nJoin us for a weekend workshop with visiting artist Yeonsoo Kim as he guides participants through the history of traditional Korean earthenware Onggi vessels\, their production and significance\, and how he incorporates these functional jars into expressive contemporary narratives. Kim will demonstrate the unique coil construction methods of Onggi pots and share the vibrant surface decoration techniques that illustrate his work. \nSaturday is a demonstration only that will focus on the “Breathing Volume” of Onggi. Following an artist talk on the history of Korean earthenware\, Kim will demonstrate the traditional “Tarae-ssaki” (coiling) and “Su-re-jil” (paddling) methods. Participants will see how rhythmic paddling creates structural integrity and dynamic volume in large-scale vessels. Saturday registration is open to all; no experience necessary. \nSunday is a hands-on workshop dedicated to the traditional Buncheong techniques of Sanggam (inlay) and Bakji (sgraffito). Participants will learn how to apply white slip over a darker clay body to create high-contrast imagery. Practicing on their own vessels and small demonstration tiles\, participants will explore how to carve out negative space (Bakji) and inlay fine lines (Sanggam) to translate personal narratives onto the clay surface. Sunday registration requires Saturday participation. Participants are encouraged to bring a leather-hard vessel to decorate; Umbrella will provide tiles for practice. Some ceramics experience recommended. \nAbout Yeonsoo: Yeonsoo Kim is a South Korean ceramic artist currently based in the United States. His work has received national and international recognition\, including being named one of NCECA’s Emerging Artists of 2020. Most recently\, he was honored with Best in Show at the 2025 Smithsonian Craft Show and was distinguished as the Featured Artist and Best in Show winner at Richmond Art and Design (2025).  \nHe has participated in prestigious residencies at the Archie Bray Foundation\, where he was awarded the Matsutani Fellowship and the Etchart-Sartre Fellowship. His residency experience also includes the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft and the Korea Ceramic Foundation. Kim’s practice continues to explore the profound dialogue between tradition and contemporary form\, focusing on the evocative “breathing volume” and the visceral presence of clay.

SUMMARY:We Were Friends: To Bed/Eggs at the Concord Museum
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning Firelight Theatre Workshop presents We Were Friends: To Bed/Eggs\, an episodic project of Firelight’s playful reimagining of Margaret Fuller and Ralph Waldo Emerson’s profound friendship set in today’s world. A late-night phone conversation between Ralph and Margaret takes the form of a radio play in which music\, film\, voice\, and the hypnotic hum of a sleep apnea machine lead the two friends into territory both more intimate and less certain than any they’ve experienced in each other’s presence. This episode will be followed by a talkback with Firelight’s actors and writers.

SUMMARY:The Concord Players present Brigadoon
DESCRIPTION:While hunting in the Scottish Highlands\, New Yorker Tommy Albright stumbles upon the picturesque village of Brigadoon which seems like a place out of time.  There\, Tommy falls in love – not just with a beautiful lass named Fiona\, but with the town itself.  Only then does he discover Brigadoon’s secret: the village appears only once every 100 years\, for a single day\, then vanishes into the mist. Will Tommy choose to return to his life in the modern world – or remain enchanted in Brigadoon forever? \nPerformances: April 24\, 25\, May 1\, 2\, 8\, and 9 at 8:00 pm with matinees on April 26 and May 3 at 2:00 pm \nTickets: $28.00    concordplayers.org or call 978-369-2990 \n

SUMMARY:HAIRSPRAY at The Umbrella Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:The Umbrella Stage Company proudly presents HAIRSPRAY\, directed and choreographed by Najee Brown.

Playing: Sunday\, April 26\, 2026 through Sunday\, May 17\, 2026 in Theater 144 at 40 Stow Street | Concord\, MA \nHairspray\, the Tony award winner based on the John Waters film\, is a 1960s musical piled bouffant-high with revolutionary joy.
